Browsers are optimized to receive websites as HTML first, yet frameworks taught a generation of developers to build blogs like they are executable files to load &amp; boot. I was asked twice this week if I think server components are a good idea (?). Yes! Create react app was a poor fit for most sites. Stop building the Web like it’s an App Store. 2024-10-17T14:58:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgdjkdarfq4uek6qf9k6n62hezwspt7ury3wkcwuw5zctj4zyr2pqzyzx8976aq6n2g3pdvt0e7jql78mer6fgtz0jgl8cjv427shqkmxlyen4kjt I&#39;ve audited a lot of large-scale server-rendered single-page-app sites in the past several weeks and it&#39;s clear that 1: frameworks finally serving HTML up-front is a welcome (long overdue) change, and yet 2: chasing it with a typical 1-to-6+ megabytes of &#34;rehydrating&#34; JavaScript means a lot of people are getting a site that may look usable but feels very broken. You can find them in the p25 that aren&#39;t getting &#34;good&#34; core web vitals. 2024-10-14T14:19:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqxhxr3tyz9ahu085rffe0e303cyhxxs2hrlccdfwt7r9mjq25aaszyzx8976aq6n2g3pdvt0e7jql78mer6fgtz0jgl8cjv427shqkmxly2ux8sc NYC Accessibility people!!

It took so long to get frameworks to prioritize it but it really does feel like we&#39;re in a better place today. SSR, SSG, and selective client rendering are popularly touted as first-class features and the way forward <a href="https://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/mv-initial-load-times">https://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/mv-initial-load-times</a> 2024-10-04T14:16:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfcf36p2nspnhqq29632qf67e59kq9hekrpu5qfcqn2adgyc7c34gzyzx8976aq6n2g3pdvt0e7jql78mer6fgtz0jgl8cjv427shqkmxlygymtuf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszvz6ejt3ammux0lvms8ftzl34q47q22n6xpwp0f7577cspuxfvtgyzycp5'>nevent1q…ycp5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Like, yes, they make stuff up sometimes. They also can for example, in 10 literal seconds, list 20+ family-friendly activities happening in NYC on a given saturday–a task that would have taken an hour sifting through bookmarks and searches. (Swap in a thousand other use cases.) Just seems like the output is the smallest problem among a lot of very big ones that make me not want to use LLMs, yet it gets so much attention? 2024-06-20T15:11:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszvz6ejt3ammux0lvms8ftzl34q47q22n6xpwp0f7577cspuxfvtgzyzx8976aq6n2g3pdvt0e7jql78mer6fgtz0jgl8cjv427shqkmxlyglzywk There&#39;s a lot about AI/ML that feels deeply problematic/worrying/dire to me but the frequent dismissive takes I see about the value and usefulness of these tools&#39; output just doesn&#39;t match what I typically observe when I use them. I&#39;m not sure what to make of that mismatch. 2024-06-20T14:58:34Z
